!'At theopposite' side of said opening from tention to cover by myclaims any modified forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalentswhich may be reasonably included within their scope.

I claim as my invention:

1. A stock waterer comprising a casing, a tank supported in the casingand adapted te be spaced from the walls of the casing for providing airspaces around the tank, a removable cover for said casing and tankhaving a false cover member spaced from the main body of the covermember, and terminating short of its forward edge, said tank having nearits upper edges openings and said cover member having correspondingopenings for permitting the circulation of air between the false coverand the main body of the cover.

2. A stock waterer comprising a casing, a tank supported within thecasing and adapted to be spaced from the walls of said casing, aremovable cover member, said cover member being provided with a falsecover member spaced therefrom, and terminating short of its forwardedge, said tank and cover member being provided with means whereby airfrom below the tank may circulate around the tank and circulate into thetank and between the cover members for making a complete circulation otair around the water within the tank.

3. A stock waterer comprising a casing. a tank supported within thecasing and adapted to be spaced from the walls of said casing, aremovable cover member, said cover member being provided with a 'falsecover member spaced therefrom, said false member terminating short ofthe forward edge of the cover and provided with a downwardly extendingportion, said tank and cover member being provided with substantiallyregistering openings whereby air from within the casing will circulatethrough the openings in the tank and in between the cover member and thedownwardly extending portion of the false member and thence bedischarged over the surface of the water within the tank.

et. A stock waterer comprising a casing designed to be sunk in theground, a tank supported within said casing and formed with an openingadapted to receive a drinking trough, a removable cover provided with afalse cover member over said tank, said tank being spaced from the wallsof the casing and provided with openings near its upper edges, the falsecover member being provided with openings adjacent to said firstdescribed openings, whereby a circulation of air may circulate aroundthe tank and between the cover member and false cover member and thencebe ydischarged over the surface of the water within the tank adjacent tothe exposed portion ot the water.

5. A stock waterer comprising a casing having a tank supported thereinand adapted to be spaced therefrom, a removable cover having a falsemember spaced therefrom, the false member having a downwardly extendingportion adapted to be spaced from the wall of the tank and to terminateslightly above the level of the water. the tank and cover member beingprovided with substantially registering openings, whereby air maycirculate from within the casing through the openings in the tank andcover member and be discharged between the tank and the downwardlyextending portion :z-:er the water within the tank, the parts being soarranged that the heated air from the cover member will be dischargedsubstantially at the coldest point in the body of water.
